Definitions

  • This invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for human or animal use containing N-palmitoylethanolamide as an analgesic in combination with opioids.
  • Opioids are substances active on the opioid receptor and having an analgesic action. They include both natural alkaloids such as morphine and its analogues (also called opiates, since derived from opium) and synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds with an alkaloid (heroin) or non-alkaloid (methadone) structure.
  • Morphine the principal natural alkaloid extracted from Papaver somniferum, is the therapeutic treatment of choice for the control of moderate and severe pain.
  • the application of the substance in the continuous therapy of persistent pain is limited by the development of tolerance to the analgesic effect.
  • the development of tolerance requires continuous dose increases to achieve the same analgesic effect. This complex pathophysiological cycle helps to decrease the quality of life of patients due to excessive sedation, reduced physical activity, constipation, respiratory depression, etc.
  • Palmitoylethanolamide is an endogenous amide formed from palmitic acid and ethanolamine. It is a lipidic mediator known to exert antinociceptive effects against different types of pain and is characterized by an interesting antineuropathic profile, especially when used in a micronized or ultra-micronized form.
  • PEA has the ability to significantly reduce the activation of glial cells in the spinal cord and brain in pathologies characterized by chronic pain.
  • ultra-micronized PEA is able to intervene in the processes of development of tolerance due to the prolonged use of opioids, in particular morphine.
  • the association of PEA to the opioid allows prolonging the efficacy of the treatment providing a duration of the analgesic effect that is double compared to treatment with the opioid administered alone.
  • An object of this invention is thus palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), alternately in non-micronized form (non-micronized PEA), in micronized form (PEA-m) or in ultra-micronized form (PEA-um), for use in combination with an opioid in the treatment of pain conditions, wherein said palmitoylethanolamide is administered separately, sequentially, or in combination with said opioid.
  • PDA palmitoylethanolamide
  • the object of this invention is palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), alternately in non-micronized form (non-micronized PEA), in micronized form (PEA-m) or in ultra-micronized form (PEA-um), or a pharmaceutical composition that includes it, for use in a patient as an analgesic in combination with an opioid, wherein said palmitoylethanolamide retards the development of tolerance to the opioid in the patient.
  • PDA palmitoylethanolamide
  • Figure 1 shows a graph relating to a "paw pressure" test on rats using morphine alone or morphine in combination with PEA.
  • the invention relates to palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), alternatively in non-micronized form (non-micronized PEA), in micronized form (PEA-m), in ultra-micronized form (PEA-um) or mixtures thereof, for use in humans or animals in combination with an opioid in the treatment of pain conditions, wherein said palmitoylethanolamide is administered separately, sequentially, or in combination with said opioid.
  • PDA palmitoylethanolamide
  • the invention relates to palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), alternately in non-micronized form (non-micronized PEA), in micronized form (PEA-m), in ultra-micronized form (PEA-um), mixtures thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition that includes it, for use in a patient as an analgesic in combination with an opioid, wherein said palmitoylethanolamide retards the development of tolerance to the opioid in the patient.
  • PDA palmitoylethanolamide
  • Palmitoylethanolamide can be synthesized as described in example no. 25 of patent US 5,990,170 .
  • Non-micronized PEA can be obtained by finely grinding the product obtained from synthesis; one can obtain a product with particle size between 50.0 and 100.0 ⁇ m.
  • PEA-m can be obtained as described in patent US 6,548,550 B1 and has a particle size of between 2.0 and 10.0 ⁇ m.
  • PEA-um can be obtained as described in PCT application no. WO 2011/027373 A1 and has a particle size of between 0.8 and 6.0 ⁇ m.
  • the opioid is selected from natural alkaloids, also called opiates or compounds of synthesis or semi-synthesis.
  • the opioid is selected from: Morphine, Heroin, Etorphine, Hydromorphone, Oxymorphone, Levorphanol, Codeine, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Nalmefene, Nalorphine, Naloxone, Naltrexone, Buprenorphine, Butorphanol, Nalbuphine, Methylnaltrexone, Fentanyl and Methadone.
  • the opioid is morphine.
  • the opioids can be administered in humans by means of the various traditional routes of administration in accordance with the instructions contained in Goodman and Gilman's "The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics" 12th edition - Chapter 18, Table 18-2, page 498 .
  • Palmitoylethanolamide can be administered in humans starting from 1 day before the start of the treatment with the opioid, or if necessary, by carrying out a 10-day pre-treatment before the start of treatment with the opioid.
  • Palmitoylethanolamide is between 3 and 50 mg/kg of patient weight (preferably 20-30 mg/kg) preferably divided into two daily treatments spaced 8-10 hours apart.
  • the daily treatment with palmitoylethanolamide has to be maintained during the entire period of treatment with the opioid. It must be considered that it may be necessary to make continuous changes in the dosage depending on the age and weight of the patient and even the severity of the medical condition being treated. The exact dose and route of administration will ultimately be at the discretion of the attending physician or veterinarian.
  • the treatment with palmitoylethanolamide is administered orally, sublingually or rectally in the pharmaceutical forms of tablets, hard gelatine capsules, soft gelatine capsules in an oily vehicle, granulate for sublingual use, emulsion for oral use, effervescent tablets, suppositories, or microenemas.
  • the inventive composition may thus contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and additives, selected as a function of the pharmaceutical form chosen.
  • the pharmaceutical compositions may contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (for example pregelatinised corn starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); filling agents (for example lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium hydrogen phosphate); lubricants (for example magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (for example potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); or inhibiting agents (for example sodium lauryl sulphate).
  • binding agents for example pregelatinised corn starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
  • filling agents for example lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium hydrogen phosphate
  • lubricants for example magnesium stearate, talc or silica
  • disintegrants for example potato starch or sodium starch glycolate
  • inhibiting agents for example sodium lauryl sulphate.
  • the tablets may be coated by methods well known in the art.
  • the liquid preparations for oral administration can
  • Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional methods with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (for example sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or edible hydrogenated fats); emulsifying agents (for example lecithin or acacia); non-aqueous vehicles (for example almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol or fractionated vegetable oils); and preservatives (for example methyl- or propyl-p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid).
  • suspending agents for example sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or edible hydrogenated fats
  • emulsifying agents for example lecithin or acacia
  • non-aqueous vehicles for example almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol or fractionated vegetable oils
  • preservatives for example methyl- or propyl-p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid.
  • the preparation may also appropriately contain flavourings, colourings and sweetening agents.
  • the preparations for oral administration may be formulated in a manner suitable to allow the controlled release of the active ingredient.
  • compositions may be in the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in a conventional manner, suitable for absorption in the buccal mucosa.
  • Typical buccal formulations are tablets for sublingual administration.
  • the compounds may also be formulated according rectal compositions such as suppositories, retention enemas or micro-enemas, for example containing the basic components of common suppositories such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
  • the compounds may also be formulated as deposit preparations.
  • Such long-acting formulations can be administered by implantation (for example in a subcutaneous, transcutaneous or intramuscular manner) or by intramuscular injection.
  • the compounds according to this invention can be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example in the form of an emulsion in a suitable oil), ion exchange resins, or as minimally soluble derivatives such as, for example, minimally soluble salt.
  • formulations described above can be prepared according to conventional methods, such as those described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences Handbook, Mack Pub. Co., NY, USA.
  • PEA-um ultra-micronized PEA suspended in the vehicle as indicated above. Starting from day 1, and then in the following days, morphine was administered (10 mg/kg i.p.). As shown in Figure 1 , the painful threshold was measured before injection of morphine (pretest) and 30 minutes after.
  • the behavioural assessments were made using the "Paw Pressure” test (Ugo Basile, Paw Pressure Analgesy Meter “Randar-Selitto” Rat) evaluating the weight supported by the animal on the hind leg.
  • the rats treated with vehicle + morphine showed a significant increase of the pain threshold compared to the pretest up to the 5th day of treatment, when they developed tolerance that did not allow the detection of further analgesic effects.
  • ultra-micronized PEA is able to intervene in the processes of development of tolerance due to the prolonged use of opioids, exemplified in the present model by morphine.
  • the association of PEA to the opioid allows prolonging the efficacy of the treatment providing a duration of the analgesic effect that is double compared to treatment with the opioid administered alone.
